Probably going to go to this for Slipknot, Slayer, and Anthrax. TDWP will probably be playing a lot of Dead Throne material so they should be good too.

Anthrax is on the list. They are playing the second stage not the main stage.

I'd go just to see AILD. Not a huge fan, but they kick ass live.

Who the fuck wants to see Mike Hranica try to do vocals live that already suck on their albums? Sounds like a dying hyena live.

When they were playing shows in Greece they had the original guitarist from Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat. on bass. No words to who will/is replacing Paul for future shows/recordings.

Seeing Slayer, Anthrax, Motorhead (maybe?), and High on Fire live may be the first step for a bunch of Asking Alexandria fans to becoming decent contributing members of society.

Will pobably go to this to see Slipknot and Slayer because I've never seen either of them. I've seen TDWP a few times and AILD one. It would definitely be cool to see them again because they're always good live. Asking Alexandria, though? I mean, c'mon, really?

If I can scrape up some money, I may just go to this. The headlining bands seem like they'd be cool live and Anthrax, TDWP and AILD seem cool.

Its funny how half the comments here butt fuckin retarted. Like this festival is for METAL ACTS and its always been like that from the beginning. Sure theres always a shitty band every year, but doesn't make the fact that its not a fun festival, so everyone, fuck you... :D

But they don't really belong playing with Slayer and Anthrax, nor slipknot.

the unannounced special guest will be Trivium or some other fag metal band like that guaranteed.

Too bad Slayer is actually taking part in this.
